Rep. Alan Grayson's Apology To Republicans

Winstonfield_Pennypacker says...

What are the Republicans ideas for providing health care to the uninsured?

Conservatives (not necessarily Republicans) want to reform health care by implementing tort reform and removing the government imposed barrier of across-state competition for insurance - thereby lowering costs. Major medical insurance is affordable by anyone who can work at even a part time job, so they do not need to be 'provided'. Everyone else already qualifies for Medicare or Medicaid. Any loose ends can be managed at the state, municipal, or individual level.

It is saying SPECIFICALLY that lives would be saved if they had health INSURANCE.

That was already understood. Mr. Dufus is saying No Insurance = No medical treatement = Death. Bull. Everyone in the US receives medical care - insured or not. It is very likely that the vast majority (if not every single person) he references in his conveniently non-detailed 400K was being treated by any number of doctors for unspecified periods of time despite being 'uninsured'.

The truth behind Rep Grayson's statement is that ignoring this problem that is causing people to die preventable deaths is like wanting them to die.

What Mr. Dufus is doing here is taking shameful advantage of statistics. People die. It cannot be stopped. All he did is say that every uninsured person that died in "X" period of time died because of 'Republicans'. He's saying, "correlation equals causation" and you agree with him. He's an idiot and denies logic, reason, and simple statistical facts.

Correlation does not equal causation. If I totalled up the number of INSURED people who died in the same time frame, simple statistics would prove incontrovertably that far more insured people died than uninsured people. Using his moron logic, we must therefore conclude that being insured KILLS you. Therefore, Obama's plan to insure more people will result in more deaths. Therefore Democrats want people to die. You really should know better than this. I'm doing my best to put it simply, but I can't help you if you stubbornly refuse to accept common sense and facts.

You are just another manipulated Republican.

Your tirade is a miscast spear, because I'm not a Republican. I'm unaffiliated. I vote for people who will decrease goverment, lower taxes, cut programs, reduce spending, balance the budget, and in all respects decrease the size & scope of government. Sadly, that leaves me with very few people to vote for.

Why do you support a political party that does nothing but harm - both financially and socially - and believe there is some virtue in it?

I believe that question is more appropriately posited to you yourself.
